REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT.
In his reply Mr.. Cleveland said: '"There
is bitterness enough in the partisan feel
ing which seems inseparable from our po-
litical methods, but the good people of the
United States have, believe, decreed that
there are occasions when this shall have
no place. This is we'll manifested to-day
in our hearty greeting by the people of
Wisconsin and this active, stirring CITY,"
He also alluded to the city's freedom from
debt in laudatory way. From the court
house reviewing stand the procession re-
sumed its march to Schlltz park, where the
hand shaking feature of the programme
was arranged to be carried out.
AT SCHLITZ PARK
there was an avenue Of arches formed of
gas jects. large Tyres of punctured gas pipe
being placed above the center
of each arch. Though it was
broad daylight, the gas was lighted and
against the background of trees presented
a very pretty sight, The president was
stationed on the platform in the main pa
Wilton inside the park surrounded by the
citizens committee. Some Slip in the ar
| rangements caused considerable confusion,
the crowd becoming wedged inside the
building in such manner that the people
could not get out, while others kept pour
ing in like a stream. At one time the pres
! ident and party were in danger of being
swept off their feet, but the police finally
managed to keep the crowd in check. The
reception lasted an hour The president
was so
TIRED OF HAND SHAKING,
as he himself observed, that most of the
time he kept his hands behind his back
and simply bowed as the people passed.
Many of them were not satisfied with this,
however, and persisted in touching his
clothes with their hands. From Schlitz
park the party drove to the exposition
building and thence after brief rest to
the Plankinton house. Mrs. Cleveland had
left the procession early in the afternoon
and at & o'clock dined at the residence of
John L. Mitchell, resident manager of the
| soldiers home.

ladies. From here Mrs. Cleveland was
driven to the residence of James Kneeland,
on Grand avenue, where she gave public
reception, lasting until o'clock, when she
was driven to the Plankinton house, where
she listened to toasts at the merchants

alton to the president. The guests in

great applause. Immediately after the

the president
DISCUSSING THE DUTY OF CHIEF EX-
ECUTIVE.
said: "And because it belongs to all peo-
pie, the obligation is manifest on their part
to maintain constant and continuous
watchfulness and interest concerning its
care and operation. Their duty is not en-
tirely done when they have exercised
their suffrage and indicated their choice of
the incumbent, nor is their duty performed
by setting down in bitter, malignant and
selfish abuse Of what is done or attempted
to be done by the incumbent selected. The
acts of the administration should not be
approved as matter of course and for no
better reason than that it represents
political party. But more unpatriotic than
all others are those who, having neither
party discomfort nor fair ground of criti-
cism to excuse or Justify their conduct, rail
because OF personal disappointment, who
msrepresent for sensational purposes and
who profess to see swift destruction in the
rejection OF their plans of governmental
management"
The fourth regular toast, "The State Of
Wisconsin, was the subject assigned to
Postmaster General Villas The concluding
speech of the postmaster general evoked
demonstrative enthusiasm. Letters of
regret were read and impromptu speeches
| followed.
